Roger Federer will hope to put his five-set nailbiter behind him and 15-year-old Coco Gauff is attempting to extend her sensational debut in the Australian Open last 16 on Sunday. Third seed Federer beat Hungary's Fucsovics in straight sets at the same stage in 2018 and another win would put the 20-time Grand Slam winner into the quarter-finals for a record 15th time. Djokovic and Schwartzman are playing for a quarter-final against big-serving Milos Raonic or Marin Cilic, the former US Open champion and 2018 Australian Open finalist. The teenager, the youngest player in the Open era to beat the defending champion at the Australian Open, can now become the youngest to reach a Major quarter-final since Sesil Karatantcheva at Roland Garros 2005. Gauff or Kenin will next play China's Wang Qiang, who shocked 23-time Grand Slam winner Serena Williams in the last round, or Tunisia's Ons Jabeur, the top-ranked player from Africa.
